Please don't spam the app store with redundant Electron-hosted web applications. Just tell me the URL so I can load it in my (non-Google-compromised) web browser, or use the OS' native web frameworks so I don't have to waste

Why don’t you do the research yourself and find out? Unless you think you know the answers, in which case go ahead and cite your sources. The truth is generally: humans have contributed to most of the warming since the beginning of the indu
